VISE.

' To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, Lawnnscn R. Biiici@ Monia, a eitixeu of the United States, and a Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed Jiine 5, 1909, Serial No. 500.327,

through the said plate l at the lower end iof the upwardly projecting lug' forming tln` section B of the saddle.

residentof Arlington, in the county of Hud son and Stateof New Jersey, have Iliade` certain new and useful Iii'iprovenients in Yises, of which the following isa speci iieatioii. l

This invention is an improvement in vises, and particularly in `pipe' visesv; and the invention consists in certain novel constructions and. combinations of parts as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

1n the drawing Figure 1 is a side view of my wrench, and Fig. Z is a cross section on about line 2 2 Fig. 1. f

in the use of pipe .vises it is conniion in the ordinary forni of pipe vise to slide the jaws of the vise. This operates to dull the pipes longitudinally trom one. position to another alonpr one of the serrated or toothed teeth of said jaws and is objectionable for sut-h reason.

By my invention I seek, amongr other. ini-` provemcnts, loprovide means wherebv the pipe. is supported independently o tht toothed jaw in adjusting the pipe to the desired position, and in doingr this I provide a saddle below the opjiositeI toothed jaws and in .such relation to the latter that the teeth of the toothed jaws as the latter are broughttogether, will operate to lif the pipe from the .saddle 'to permit the clamping` of the pipe. by the toothed jaws of the isefand. at the saaie time when the jaws are moved apart the pipe will he readjnsted by grarilv onto the lsaddle. 1 also provide for moving the two toothed jaws toward andtroni the pipe instead of silopl)` moving;- one of the jaws. as this moving f 0f the two jaws is toiieialed with the saddle as in operation the movement of the two jaws with their ta ered l toothe l fat-es toward eaeh other and upon the pipe operates to lift the pipe from the .saddle as the jaws are niofed to a position to elanipthe pipe.

Iii the construe! ion shown the vise has' a body and a removable side plate lL and a saddle isl forme-l is; two set-tions A and one section being: integial with the body and the other section integral willi the. side plate l., which latter is .secured to the body A by the bolts t" and the bolts (i.) passing through the depending: arme. l" at the ends i of the plate Ii: and the holt C passing The .saddle set'- tions B' and are provided in their upper ends with the recesses Bx and A i'oi'nnng seats for the pipo when the latterrests upon the saddle. l *Y The pipe jaws l) are carried by the jaws 1l. which may be similar to die jaws` ofan ordinary vise., the pipe jaws l) being pinned.

at D' to the jaws E. The pipe j aws l) have their toothed faces D tapered inwardly` as best Shown in Fig. 1, and these tapered jawsI extend below the upper edge of the saddle so that the pipe it' rested ou the saddle may be lifted therefrom by the movement of the pipe jaws D toward each other and into engagement with the pipe as will be understood from Fig. 1 of the drawing. The jaws have the depending,r portions E which are'thrcaded for engagement by the operating screw I", which pret'erablj has a right hand thread' operating r in one. of the nutJ portions Ii", and a left hand thread operating:r in the other nut portion li' so that as the screw l: isturned in one direction 0i' the other it will operate to move the jaws toward or from each other. The .screw is fitted in lateral bearings (i in the body of the vise, and is held therein b y the blocks il, which latter is held in position bythe bolts C, C', as before described.

The vise is provided with a bracket l, for connection with a bench, the said bracketv havin;r a top plate l. and a depending plate l2, arranged at ontl side ofthe vise body so the bracket may be applied to a bench iii such manner as to support the vise entireljY in front of the bench as is desirable t'or usc by pipe litters. the vise bein; especially designed for use as a pipe itter`s vise.

it will be noticed that the top plate l extends from the body A in a plane parallel to the axis of the screw F.

I claiml. The improved rise herein described comprising a body portion provided with an v upwardl) projecting saddle set-tion aml havim,r below said saddle `eetion tieni-ings. a jaw operatin; r screw in said bearings an-i having right and lett threads` blocks for holding;r the screw in its bearintb` a side plate fitting; over said blocks and retaininggl the same. said side plate being' provided `with a .-.addle see.: tion eoniplenien'larj` to that of the body, :and

.w un...

ybothsaid saddlefsections being provided in their upper ends with depressed. recesses ing said jaws and having right and left threads, substantially as set forth.

3; A pipe vise comprising a'saddle havingL sections spaced apart and provided at their upper edges with seats for a pipe, pipe ja-Ws operating between said seats, and 1n such relation to the saddle sections that the teeth of the toothed jaws as the latter are brought p together, will operate to lift the pipe from the saddle and means formoving said jaws toward and from each other.

4. A vise having a saddle adapted to sup- -port a pipe when released by the jaws', and

pipe jaws having tapered toothed portions l extending below the upper edge of said saddle vwhereby said jaws are adapted tolift a. pipe from thesaddle when the jaws are moved into clamping relation with the pipe, substantially as set forth.

5. A pipe vise having a body portion, and a side plate held thereto, both said plates bein provided with upwardly projecting sadd e sections, and pipe jaws movable'between said saddle sections and having tapered'. portionsge'xtendng below Ythe tpper' edge of the saddle section wherebyv the jaws are adapted to liftfa pipe therefrom in moving the jaws into clamping relation with the pipe, substantially as set forth.

6. The combination in u. vise of a body portion having upwardly projecting saddle sections and provided withl bearings fora jaw operating screw, a screw jonrnaled in said bearings, jaws operated by the screw, blocks retaining the screw in its bearings, a.

side plate securin the blocks in place, and n saddle seehaving an upwar ly projectn e body portion eoperating with that on tion, and jaws operated by thescrew and, j

adapted to lift a pipe--from the saddle sections, substantially as set forth.

7. A pipe vise'having a saddle composed of sections spaced apart, and pipe jaws movable toward l and from each other between said saddle sections and having toothed portions extending below the upper edge of the saddle sections.
